The girl of the day has an ambition, of course, to get in a book, along with girls from all ages, countries and conditions; but did any one ever observe how uniformly the book heroines sink and slump down on sofas, the lawn or the library floor, in well regulated swoons, all in “little crushed heaps,” not even a cloud of dust rising from the spot ns the book girl slid down, her noiseless draperies falling discreetly with her, making no fuss about it. Some times, indeed almost on every page, I lie book girl rushed toward somebody—her father, guardian, Newfoundland dog, her’ horse, her lover, Lord Adel- bert; Alont-Agony, or the village surgeon—rapidly and yet so noise lessly, with just a faint rustle of silken skirts which emitted an aroma of violets as she passed through the vaulted marble hall—an odor which not only penetrated to the furthermost china closets inthe cas tle, but overflowed into the back yard, the woodpile ami the neighbors’ lettuce gar den, until the hired girl of the Fit./. Ad dingtons came out with a clothes-pin in her mouth to see what was going on. TO BE A book girl without that expressive aroma of Parma violets is to be a half-way, not reliable heroine, whom no one would trust for half an hour. Neither is it possible to omit this faint rustle of silken skirts as she goes on her cyclonic way. Not a great big swish-swish, you know, like a new all-wool satin lined witli brand new wig- gan, but just a lady-like, costly frou-frou, betokening high-priced petticoats and plenty of them. But did any book girl in your memory, of the right sort, ever rush around the cusfcle or picnic grounds in •starched ginghams or percales which stood out in every direction, like a cotton um brella set out to dry? BOOK PEOPLE Are always handsomely gotten up in the latest style, and it is a poor maker of he roines indeed who would permit them to circulate among their lofty acquaintances in starched rutiles when to them silks are a mere drug. They simply roll in good clothes, you know, and don’t have to let last year’s tucks out of this year’s revived ginghams. There are slumpsy mulls,gren adines, flannels, satteens and woolens for these sort of girls, but the substantial good looking young women who wouldn’t give a hairpin to be in a book—they will wear the striped, checked and flounced fabrics which rattle when they walk like rain on a tin roof, or peas in a shovel. This kind of independent young woman chews gum in the horse-cars, goes to a tight or a tire if she wants to, and makes all the noise she pleases to make. It must be remembered, however, that nearly all the simpering, gushing, or else too pedantic heroines, fly full dressed from the brains of their makers, Minerva- like, already gotten up, and that men are, in the main, rather bad judges of costume. Would one be very much astonished to learn that Lady Ring-round-the-rosy went to a high tea in a pea-green Silesia trim med with watteau|bangs or marabout mac- arime! What does the man—patentee of heroines—know about her clothes? He has enough to do to watch her Buddhisms or philosophy. He makes his girls think and talk like a theological seminary; makes them rise superior to wire bustles and false chignons, while the woman inventor of girls in books is very apt to make them too sloppy and suburban. Her girls are shy little things, with always quick, up- wardlglances and a sort of die-away-may-I- Reginald air, which makes us lose conti- dence in their ability to marry the hero and open a boarding house to support him with. There is one subject about which all the feminine world is troubled exceedingly. Sorely troubled by day and harrassed at night by phantasmagoria clothed in long, inky stockings. Are they again to be the slaves to black stockings? That is the question. Whether to endure the whips and arrows of outrageous fortune or take up ankles against a sea of troubles and by opposing—end them. Whether it is nobler to wear black stockings witii Newport shoes and patent leather tips, and FIND YOUR FEET Apparently mortified at night or gan grened, or to walk about in old lashioned white hose and iiigh boots with no cark- iug care as to the appearance of your toes at evening’s hoiy hour, when, as the guest in some respectable family, you find your feet all right, but slightly passe. There will never come a time, probably, when in the mother country black stockings will be absent from the clothes line in no ble back yards. Children there have for many years worn black stockings nnd con tinue to wear them, whether the little ones in Anglo-America follow suit or not. So far as beauty and fitness goes, that is a mere matter of taste, but it does appear the proper thing to clothe the feet and ankies in black for outdoor exercise, al though if men were consulted probably black stockings would be unheard of in society. A bride writing from Arkansas, on the subject of stockings, says: “As to black, my husband thinks they are the invention of the evil one.” No doubt this young husband voiced a whole multi tude of his sex. Men are sticklers for fair, clean .hosiery. Black stockings may be worn indefinitely and white ones must be changed. There you have it in a nutshell. It would seem the “proper caper,” as our foreign cousins say, to| ~~ . TO DRESS THE FEET With either reference to the habiliments of the person, to wear gray boots and gray stockings with a gray stuff or silk dress, brown with brown and black with black. But then conies a stilt problem oil the heels of all 1 bis. Must we tolerate green with green pen-green at that'. Clearly this rule works just so tar ami stops short. And who ever heard ot crushed raspberry or pounded goos ibcrrv feet? About the'correct thing, no doubt, is to dress the feet as conspicuousl y as possible always; hence tin- black --I ■< '• 1 >" with 1 iw ah tes.

Louis train to a St. Paul (done re porter. “Now of that rapidity ol'thought. that leading up to an accident is what 1 consider most remarkable. Not long ago J was on a visit to a cousin and while there another cousin, a doctor, came. 1 had the only spare room, and of course the new arrival was sent in to sleep with me. We laid tile bed with its head up against the door which had a transom—a good-sized transom with two big panes of glass. Dur- : ing the first night the transom fell down | and we were awakened from a sound sleep by our faces cracking through the I glass. i “Scared! Well, I should say so. But the I funny part of the thing was the different way in which our mental powers accounted for tlie very same physical sensation- breaking glass and more or less scratching and cutting, but nothing serious to either. 1 was a traveling mau even in my sleep, and when the crash came—which, of course, was only a second before we were wide awake—I dreamed I was on a sleep ing ear and was enjoying a lower berth. I thought the train hod jumped the track, and in trying to look out and see what was the trouble I was thrown against the win dow-glass, and awoke. “Now, the doctor dreamed, as he in formed me, that he passed into a trance, and while thus powerless to move he was placed in a casket and prepared for the narrow little home beneath the sod. He had been reading of a similar case, and the details were first in his mind. In his dreamy troubles he thought that just as the sorrowing relatives were about to re move him and the casket from the old parlor he broke out in a profuse perspira tion and the result was that, the room be ing warm, steam was generated in the casket and the glass face covering was broken, the pieces of glass naturally fall ing over his face. Now, tiiere was one and the same accident and two people .simi larly affected by it expressed it so differ ently in their dreams.” Tlir Hast IVii) to Kt (‘|i 1 iiilIu ii*.
